Anne Hathaway is a Poor Choice for Catwoman

When I think of Catwoman, this is the first image that comes to mind:

This is Michelle Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle AKA Catwoman. I remember seeing this poser in the theater back before Batman Returns came out, and I was so excited that I even bought a copy of it. It's on my wall to this very day. Michelle Pfeiffer was a perfect casting choice, and they did a phenomenal job on her makeup and costume.

Besides her, the most iconic Catwoman that I can think of is the one played by Julie Newmar in the classic TV series:

Even though the TV series was originally aired well before I was born, I always thought she was incredibly gorgeous and set a strong precedent of what Catwoman should be like.

In the comics, Catwoman has had many looks. My favorite look would have to be the astounding cover work of Adam Hughes. Take a look at this one, taken from Catwoman #48:

Simply breathtaking.

Here's one more cover, taken from #51 that I just have to share because it's so awesome:

After Batman Returns came out in 1992, the world fell in love with Michelle Pfeiffer. For years and years it was rumored that she was going to star in a standalone Catwoman movie, and people couldn't wait for it to come to fruition. Eventually a Catwoman movie got the green light and was released in 2004, but it starred Halle Barry and she played a character named Patience Price, not Selina Kyle. It was a disappointing movie, but since she wasn't the Selina Kyle character, whether or not her portrayal of Catwoman is better or worse than the previous/upcoming portrayals is irrelevant.

Back in January of 2011, it was announced that Catwoman was going to star in the upcoming film the Dark Knight Rises and she would be played by Anne Hathaway. I had no idea who she was, but read that she starred in the movies the Princess Diaries and Pretty in Prada amongst others.

Since I had no idea what she looked like, I did an image search and this was my first result:

Are you serious, bro? This is the chick that's going to play Catwoman? She looks weird, has a poor acting portfolio, and no amount of make-up/cgi can hide the fact that she's a terrible choice to play such an iconic character. Let's do some comparisons:

In conclusion, there's no possible way that Anne Heche can possibly be a good choice for Catwoman.

Why I titled my blog "Dark Knight Sucks"

Before I start writing the main articles for this blog, I feel I must explain the purpose of the blog. I need to make it clear that I am not a Batman hater. I am a true fan of old "Batsy" and I'm anything but a hater. In fact, he's one of my most favorite comic book characters ever.

My issue lies with the current direction of the Batman film franchise, which I refer to as the "Dark Knight Trilogy". There are so many problems with the first two films (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) in this trilogy, and everything I've seen and read about the final film indicates that it will be the worst of the threesome. I fear that in the end it will turn people away from Batman.

Using my extensive knowledge of the subject of Batman, as well as my knowledge of other comic book characters and films based on such, I will use facts to prove that the upcoming film Dark Knights Rises will suck, and that the entire Dark Knight trilogy is terrible and one of the worst things to happen to film. Yes, even worse than this.

Hello World

Welcome to this blog. The purpose of this blog is to analyze the upcoming Dark Knight Rises movie and discuss why I think it will suck. Based on all the information I've read, I truly believe it has a good chance to be the worst Batman film yet.
